Comment on Tig 1.0 released - ncurses text-mode interface for git

Comments

My favourite things about Tig:

  * It's fast.
  * It's there in the terminal, right where you're using git.
  * Hence, easy to use over ssh :)
  * Familiar keyboard shortcuts (press 'h' for help).
  * Combined log/diff view, where each scrolls independently.
  * 'tig --all'
I've often wished I could use it to start a rebase, but besides that, I find it damn near perfect.

As an avid rebase user, I want to add rebase support eventually. Something like interactive rebase, however, the question is how to improve something that is nearly perfect.

That'd be awesome. :)

If tig started "git rebase" (with or without -i) and then helped me through fixing any conflicts (merge tool?), that'd be awesome.

I sometimes forget where I am during a rebase, so showing how many more commits to go would be cool.
